Questions founders ask
Can we meet locally?
The standard process is remote-first, but San Diego location context helps local founders who want a nearby product partner.
What types of MVPs do you build?
Common projects include SaaS platforms, AI tools, marketplaces, internal dashboards, and no-code to custom-code migrations.
What is the fastest way to get a real number for my project?
The free estimate calculator: eight questions, and it returns a budget range, a timeline and a scope direction without a call. It is a range, not a quote — the fixed price is agreed after scoping, and the tiers it lands against are $14,900 over 4-6 weeks and $24,900 over 6-9 weeks. If you already have a codebase, the $490 audit produces a fixed proposal in 2 days instead.
What does an MVP cost for a San Diego startup?
The same fixed prices as anywhere else: from $14,900 over 4-6 weeks for a Production MVP, and from $24,900 over 6-9 weeks for a larger build. Pricing is set by scope, not by postcode, and the number is fixed after scoping rather than billed hourly.
What happens after the launch?
Post-launch bug support for 14 or 30 days depending on the plan, a walkthrough session, and full documentation with access to hosting, domain and third-party services. The code is yours from day one, so you can move to a local San Diego team at any point without a handover negotiation.
